HOW TO KEEP YOUR SKIN STAY HYDRATED DURING RAMADHAN?

Tuesday, 14 May 2019

Even though it is Ramadhan, you don't need to compromise your skincare regime. You can still maintain a well hydrated skin. A well hydrated skin is a natural glowing skin. Who doesn't want a glowing and radiant skin, right?!

A dehydrated skin will look dull and rough. No one wants that. Let me share on how to keep your skin hydrated during Ramadhan.

1. Drink enough water.

First of all, you need to make sure that you are drinking enough of water between iftar and sahur.

2. Avoid sugary drinks and foods.

3. Stay protected from UV rays

Over exposure to UV rays may cause premature aging, wrinkles, dark spots and even skin cancer. As the sunlight is the main source of UV rays, try to avoid staying in the sun especially from 10AM to 4PM, wear protective clothes and don't forget to apply your sunscreen before going out.

Apart from UV rays, indoor and outdoor pollution can also damage our skin barrier and weaken the skin capacity to retain water. Our skin also undergoes thermic shock (sudden variations in temperature and humidity) that may cause tightness and dehydrated skin. But don't you worry! Did you know, Clarins Hydra-Essentiel range contains the new anti pollution complex that protects the skin's barrier function, oxidative stress and additional ageing factors.

4. Face mist

Face mist can provide extra hydration through out the day, especially when you are staying in an air conditioning room. I love to keep my face mist in the refrigerator so it has a cooling effect to refreshen my skin. Spray je bila rasa perlu. My new fav is My Clarins RE-FRESH Hydrating Beauty Mist.

5. Use hydrating serum and moisturizer

Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Bi-Phase Serum is a hydrating serum. It is a dual serum that contains 80% hydro (water) and 20% lipidic (oil) based. It contains leaf of life (KALANCHOE PINNATA LEAF EXTRACT) that triggers the skin's natural hydration system and beautyberry that contributes to skin's radiance.

It is lightweight, fast absorbance and easy to apply. I'll normally warm the product first using my palm and apply it using a pressing motion on my cheeks, forehead and neck.

You can also use Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Cooling Gel together with the serum for extra umph gitu. It is suitable for normal and combination skin. It has a luxurious sorbet-like, non-greasy texture helps to mattify skin and intensely hydrate your skin. I love how it doesn't make my skin feels greasy and sticky when using it.

6. Apply lip balm

Apart from your skin, your lips also need some love to keep your lips smooth and healthy. I love a lip balm that is not sticky but really hydrating. Bibir kering tak sexy okay!

Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm Day is a day to day replenishing lip balm. It works as an intensive lip repair for dry and cracked lips. You can also use it as a sleeping mask. Just apply thicker amount on lips and leave overnight. Repeat for 3 days for best result.

Additional tips!
Did you notice that when your under eyes is dry and puffy, you face will look tired. I like Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Eye Mask because it makes me look more fresh and alive, even if I didn't have enough sleep :P
